(a) Collagen I (Col I), (b) collagen III (Col III), (c) collagen V (Col V), and (d) α-SMA (SMA) protein levels in HCF, T1DM, and T2DM on days 3 and 9. Col I was significantly increased on day 9 in the T1DM and T2DM compared to the HCFs and between days 3 and 9. Significant increases in Col V and SMA were seen at day 9 for the T2DM when compared to HCFs at day 9. Welch’s unpaired -test and/or ordinary one-way ANOVA () was used to analyze the results. Error bars represent standard deviation ( denotes and denotes ).
